Description
Gebiet der ErfindungTerritory of invention
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Satellitenkommunikationssysteme und insbesondere auf einen Satelliten und eine Teilnehmereinheit, welche die Fähigkeit haben, sowohl Mehrfachzugriff im Codemultiplex als auch Mehrfachzugriff im Zeitmultiplex zu verwenden.The invention relates to satellite communication systems and in particular to a satellite and a subscriber unit, which is the ability have both multiple access in code division multiple access and multiple access to be used in time multiplex.
Hintergrund der Erfindungbackground the invention
TDMA- (TDMA- "time division multiple access" = Mehrfachzugriff im Zeitmultiplex) Techniken bieten eine große Anzahl von Kommunikationskanälen für Telefoniedienste und sind optimal für ungleichmäßige Umgebungen. Die Belastung in jedem Satellitenstrahl kann aufgrund hoher Teilnehmerdichten in großstädtischen Gebieten ungleichmäßig sein. TDMA-Zugriffschemata erlauben, dass Frequenzzuordnungen von Strahlen mit geringer Benutzung auf Hot-Spots umverteilt werden. TDMA-Systeme sind daher optimal zur Abdeckung in den westlichen Vereinigten Staaten, wo die Städte eher weiter von einander entfernt sind als die Städte in den östlichen Vereinigten Staaten.TDMA- (TDMA- "time division multiple access" = multiple access time division multiplex) techniques offer a large number of communication channels for telephony services and are ideal for uneven environments. The load in each satellite beam can be due to high subscriber densities in metropolitan areas be uneven. TDMA access schemes allow frequency assignments of beams can be redistributed to hot spots with little use. TDMA systems are therefore optimal for coverage in the western United States, where the cities are more distant from each other than the cities in the east United States.
CDMA- (CDMA- "code division multiple access" = Mehrfachzugriff im Codemultiplex) Techniken werden verwendet, um Dienste bereitzustellen, die einheitlichere Dienste ohne Spitzenbelastung erfordern, um Vorteile aus dem CDMA-Wiederverwendungsfaktor sowie variablen Datenratendiensten zu ziehen. CDMA ist optimal für Umgebungen mit einheitlicher Dichte und ist optimal zur Abdeckung der östlichen Vereinigten Staaten und Europas, wo großstädtische Gebiete überlappen.CDMA (CDMA "code division multiple access") in code division multiplex) techniques are used to provide services which require more uniform services without peak loads to take advantage from the CDMA reuse factor as well as variable data rate services. CDMA is optimal for environments with uniform density and is optimal for covering the eastern United States and Europe, where metropolitan areas overlap.
Es gibt ein signifikantes Bedürfnis nach einem Multi-Modus-System und einer Teilnehmereinheit, die in der Lage sind, sowohl TDMA- als auch CDMA-Techniken, basierend auf der aktuellen Verwendung oder der Belastung des Systems, zu verwenden.There is a significant need for a multi-mode system and a subscriber unit that are capable of both TDMA as well as CDMA techniques based on current usage or the load on the system.
Die WO 98/44656 offenbart ein Funkkommunikationssystem, wo Kommunikation zwischen Teilnehmereinheit und Satellit durch Verwendung von FDMA/TDMA-, CDMA- oder TD-CDMA-Techniken möglich ist.WO 98/44656 discloses a radio communication system, where communication between subscriber unit and satellite through use of FDMA / TDMA, CDMA or TD-CDMA techniques is possible.

Diese Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung mehrere Zugriffstechniken in einem Kommunikationsnetzwerk. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform verwendet das Kommunikationsnetzwerk TDMA und CDMA. Durch Verwendung mehrere Zugriffstechniken wird die Dienstqualität verbessert und zwei verschiedene Arten von Hochkapazitätsgebieten können bedient werden, nämlich einheitliche und ungleichmäßige. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung verwendet Multimodus-Teilnehmerausrüstung sowie ein Multimodus-Satellitenkommunikationssystem, um TDMA- und CDMA-Zugriffsverfahren nahtlos zu verwenden.This invention relates to use several access technologies in a communication network. At a preferred embodiment uses the communication network TDMA and CDMA. By using Several access techniques will improve the quality of service and two different ones Types of high-capacity areas can are operated, namely uniform and uneven. A preferred embodiment the invention uses multi-mode subscriber equipment as well a multi-mode satellite communication system to access TDMA and CDMA seamless to use.
Ein "Satellit", wie in dieser Beschreibung verwendet bezeichnet ein menschengemachtes Objekt oder Fahrzeug, welches die Erde in nicht-geostationären Höhen (z. B. niedrige Erdhöhen oder mittlere Erdhöhen) oder geostationären Höhen umkreist. Eine "Konstellation" bedeutet eine Anzahl von Satelliten, die in Umlaufbahnen angeordnet sind, um eine spezifische Abdeckung (z. B. Funkkommunikation; Fernerfassung, etc.) eines Teils, von Teilen oder der gesamten Erde bieten. Eine Konstellation enthält typischerweise mehrere Ringe (oder Ebenen) von Satelliten und kann eine gleiche Anzahl von Satelliten in jeder Ebene enthalten, obgleich dies nicht erforderlich ist.A "satellite" as used in this description denotes a man-made object or vehicle that the Earth in non-geostationary Heights (e.g. B. low altitudes or mean heights) or geostationary Circled highs. A "constellation" means a number of satellites that are arranged in orbits to a specific Coverage (e.g. radio communication; remote acquisition, etc.) of a part, of parts or all of the earth. A constellation typically contains multiple rings (or planes) of satellites and can be the same Number of satellites included in each level, although not is required.

Tabelle 1 unten repräsentiert ein Beispiel der verfügbaren Optionen, basierend auf der Belastung der Nachbarzelle und der aktuellen Zellbelastung, wenn sowohl TDMA- als auch CDMA-Schemata dasselbe Spektrum verwenden.Table 1 represents below an example of the available Options based on the load on the neighboring cell and the current one Cell loading when both TDMA and CDMA schemes do the same Use spectrum.
Tabelle 1 Table 1
Wenn beispielsweise die Belastung der Nachbarzelle niedrig ist, die aktuelle Zelle jedoch eine hohe Belastung erfährt, würde gemäß Tabelle 1 der Satellit TDMA als Zugriffschema für die Teilnehmereinheit auswählen. Wenn die Belastung auf den Nachbarzellen und der aktuellen Zelle niedrig sind, würde der Satellit die Auswahl zwischen der Verwendung von TDMA oder CDMA haben. Tabelle 1 repräsentiert lediglich ein Beispiel dessen, was ein Satellit, basierend auf den Belastungszuständen der Nachbarzellen und der aktuellen Zelle, auswählen kann. Andere Tabellen zum Auswählen, ob die Teilnehmereinheit über TDMA oder CDMA kommuniziert, könnten basierend auf ähnlichen Kriterien, wie sie in Tabelle 1 verwendet werden oder auf anderen dem Fachmann wohlbekannten Faktoren ausgedacht werden.For example, if the load on the neighboring cell is low but the current cell is experiencing a high load, the satellite would select TDMA as the access scheme for the subscriber unit according to Table 1. If the loads on the neighboring cells and the current cell are low, the satellite would have a choice of using TDMA or CDMA. Table 1 represents only an example of what a satellite can choose based on the load conditions of the neighboring cells and the current cell. Other tables for selecting whether the subscriber unit communicates via TDMA or CDMA could be devised based on similar criteria as used in Table 1 or other factors well known to those skilled in the art.
Der Satellit kann auch auswählen, dass die Aufwärtsverbindung und die Abwärtsverbindung dasselbe Modulationsschema haben oder dass eine unterschiedliche Zugriffstechnik für die Aufwärtsverbindung gegenüber der Abwärtsverbindung verwendet wird. Tabelle 2 listet die vier unterschiedlichen Zugriffsmöglichkeiten für die Aufwärtsverbindung und die Abwärtsverbindung auf.The satellite can also choose that the uplink and the downlink have the same modulation scheme or that a different one Access technology for the uplink across from the downlink is used. Table 2 lists the four different access options for the uplink and the downlink on.
Tabelle 2 Table 2

Es gibt viele Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung. Ein Vorteil der Erfindung ist es, TDMA und CDMA in einem Satel litenkommunikationssystem zu kombinieren. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass die Teilnehmereinheiten segmentiert werden in die Benutzung eines Zugriffsschemas gegenüber einem anderen, basierend auf Spitzen oder Belastungskapazitätsbedürfnissen. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass die Teilnehmereinheit ein anderes Zugriffschema auf der Aufwärtsverbindung verwenden kann als dasjenige, welches auf der Abwärtsverbindung verwendet wird.There are many advantages to the present Invention. An advantage of the invention is TDMA and CDMA in one Combine satellite communications system. Another advantage the invention is that the subscriber units are segmented in using one access scheme over another on peaks or load capacity needs. Another advantage of the invention is that the subscriber unit has a different access scheme on the uplink can use as the one on the downlink is used.
Entsprechend sollen durch die beigefügten Ansprüche alle Modifikationen der Erfindung abgedeckt werden, die in den Umfang der Erfindung wie beansprucht fallen.Accordingly, all of the appended claims are intended to Modifications of the invention are included in the scope of the invention as claimed.
